This is really cool! I know most people wouldn’t find something like this all too interesting. But from a LEGO designer prospective, I thinks it’s fun so see the progression of a design. Very relatable
😎😎❤️
Wow yes
Relatable indeed.
This is getting interesting. Can't wait to see what you are up to, concerning the GBC model
Game boy color?
@@lyastrife Great British Cook-off?
@@lyastrife great ball contraption. Search for Akiyuki brick Channel for more information.
Great big co-
@@Oo0oO520 i like that
Using the concept of emergence to continuously ''upgrade'' the depth and detalization of a Lego build is incredibly smart.
Iterative design at it's finest. Really cool little detail :)
It's amazing just how much the aethetic changed when you switched the flat slopes to curved. It really brought it together!
1x2 upside down slope bricks are probably m favorite lego element
This was super cool to watch and I would definitely like to see more videos like this.
Do you ever sometimes hit a point where you feel like you've "over-designed" and need to scale back details that you've added?
Yes sometimes rarely
This was a really fascinating look at your thought process.
Possibly the best 'How I Design' Lego videos out there. I have been struggling with the philosophy of designing stuff. Using software. Hand drawing. This method seems to be the best because, like in "Close Encounters..." One should try sculpting. Putting bricks together is the most direct design method out there. More, please!
Yeah I always start out with mashed potatoes, stare at it, and say “This means something!” 🤣
@@Sinjinator I love it when someone recognizes an obscure reference from a good movie.
As a serious LEGO builder, do you just always have all the pieces you want to use at hand? Like you have all the grey bricks, white slope and red frame tiles in this model just stashed away in a drawer and you only need to reach in ans get them. Or do you ever run into a situation where you want to use a piece but don't have it available? Or maybe you only work on models you know you can complete with your arsenal of bricks?
For something like this, with basic bricks, slopes and tiles in common colours, I pretty much had all the pieces on hand. That is definitely not always the case, though. For the rest of this model, I made 6 Bricklink orders and 2 Bricks and Pieces orders to get all the parts I needed.
I was gonna ask that but thanks
Well excited to see what this turns into! I like seeing the process.
This videos are incredible but also really satisfying. 👍👏
You are so creative 👍
This is awesome. Looks perfect for a bowling alley MOC.
And I'm here, buying a set, follow the instructions, display it and that it lol
Very interesting. Not even only for Lego, this can be applied to any kind of design.
Short and simple, that's what I like
Love how he keeps putting the ball through like "yup, still works"
Great insight 👍👍 love the way you added the studs as bolts to that frame!!
Yup, this is pretty much how my MOCs evolve.
The difference between version 1.0 and X.X is always astounding.
That's the best way to build in my opinion. I build and tear it down and rebuild til I am comfortable with it's look
It's inspiring to see your process for design. Thanks for sharing!
Such great idea and demo to share this kind of workflow 🙏
So cool to see your iterative process
Fantastic! This is now my go to video to send people to explain what the building process is like
I would love to see more design process videos from you, this was great! Thank you 😊
What a precious lesson!
Thanks for this! I appreciate your builds and want to know more about how you (and all of us can) build “next level”
It's really useful and inspiring to see your design process, thank you for sharing it!
This is very applicable to LEGO machines!
Looking amazing, Jason!
Cheers, thanks dude!
Great Ball Contraption!
i love the process! so creative
I love that your including your voice
I wouldn't make a very good artist. At every intermediary step I was like "Looks great! You're done!".
Nice job on this one, it's looking great! Just keep at it I'm sure you'll come up with something you're quite happy with.. Keep on building!
This has me really curious for what your next main build is
That's really cool to watch, I love design process stuff :3
I absolutely love how after each iteration, he rolls the ball through
To test functionality like the ball rolling there's no way around using physical bricks.
But for the level of building and rebuilding you were doing after you had it working I usually go into Bricklink Studio.
very cool!
The large number 2 on the right side of the system looks cool too.
Architect here. You've just shown a very nice tectonics study. I am assuming it was all intuition on your part (in contrary to theory/books), which is indicative of your expertise in this field. What you have shown is truly the essence of architecture - giving meaning to building elements so people can identify them without any prior instructions. If you wish to study this problem further, I would suggest looking into historical examples: Greek Classical orders would be a great start.
I can recommend some books if you want as well.
I am guessing a thumb up as an interest in book reccomendation - The Metope and the Triglyph by Monestiroli is great. The logic of architecture looks promising, although I've just started to read it.
I love this kind of vids
The design is very cool 👍
Moral : You can't get ENOUGH slopes .
Very interesting
So takeaway is a man can never have too many slopes
LETS GO can’t wait for a new gbc/ marble thing
I have been watching you for a year and I still don't understand what gbc stands for lol
Id love to see you build a pinball machine.

WEDGES MAKE IT LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL #WEDGEGANG
The biggest problem I run into when deconstructing and reconstructing over and over is I've been known to forget a detail here and there and the reconstruction often turns out to be another variation altogether. And then my ACD (ADHD & OCD kidding, but...) suggests I document each build in progress, which in turn slows the progress.
I can definitely relate. This used to happen to me quite often when rebuilding prototypes. I eventually learned to always take pictures before taking anything apart and rebuilding it, in case I forget some detail of it.
@@JKBrickworks aw heck, I enjoy learning new things, over and over and over......
I have never thought about this until now. I know when you use specific blocks, your build will get more beautiful. But I have never seen an "evolution" before.
Mmm LEGO. A crunchy snack.
cool
All I need is some more legos, some small balls, all I’d try making something like this
ok now i need to know how the final version looks like
It has similar/parallels to the construction process in architecture.from the simple form to the detailed element informations. A wall in the preproject is just solid. A wall in the construction project has all the information and details.. 🇨🇭
Wow it looks really good!!! Are you going to change bottom bracket to top one for making ball to change its movement direction?
And also another inventions for new GBC?
Yes, finally another GBC module! The ball will stop at the end, and something will come and pick it up.
@@JKBrickworks Wow it sounds brilliant!!! I hope your idea will be as good as you imagine and even better ;) Good luck👍😊
Sometimes it helps to look at the real world version of some machinery. Ergonomics, worker health and safety, emergency kill switches etc can give a realistic level of detail.
Wow
Pls can you explain your lego storage, I am rly in trouble with my lego pieces 😅
What are the benefits of rebuilding physical legos over designing it virtually and build it afterwards?
NEED MORE S L O P E S
That's pretty much how it goes with almost any design project in which form is at least equally as important as function. I wonder what there making that could require orange balls.
I’m a minecraft builder and i can relate to this video :)
This guy should get hired from Lego
I thought you were making a gumball machine at first! I used to love lego candy machines when I was little, with all the interior mechanisms, have you ever considered making one?
Super Cool 64
This is what I see when I level up my town hall 8 times (COC)
You promised me making a sonic lego set last time you streamed
👍
is there a rule that plates not on top need to be supported under every stud? it feels like the walls going up could benefit from a lot more structural rigidity by putting some blocks in place of certain snot wall 1x1s
No, definitely no 'rule' about that. It was just easier to build it this way while prototyping. I think I removed a couple of unnecessary bricks with studs on their sides in the final version.
I think this a good design rules in general, to emphasize openings. The human eye has eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows. Beautiful old buildings usually have framed windows in high contrast with with the glass and the walls. Boring and ugly designs often lack these additions.
Does this mean there’s a new GBC module on the way???!!!!???
(Please say yes)
How do people get so many Legos peices?
Lego building is like trial and error right? Because that's how I build lego without the manuals xD
You promised me making a sonic set
Can you make a motorized car?
Good that this is not Mario Maker, otherwise this many slopes would surely break something. :D
Can't have enough slopes
The piraka amunition factory
Welp, i never get those 2min back
When will the guitar start playing?
Helicopter soup
Do you use digital design tools?
Occasionally, I will mock something up in Stud.io. It is easier for some things, like trying different colour combinations, but I prefer to use real bricks most of the time.
Make this an official Lego set
How did you get so many legos?!?
Pretty sure you can buy specific legos. forgot where though..
Bricks and Pieces is an official Lego shop for purchasing individual elements. Bricklink is a marketplace where people can put up their own pieces or sets for sale. These two are mentioned in a comment by the author, but there are other alternatives as well.
Oh. From the thumbnail I thought you were going to buy a crematorium.
GBC?
I used to do stuff like this all the time. Then I discovered OCD meds and behavioral therapy.😋
Clash of clans upgrades be like:
it look like lips and teeth, id change the colours a lil bit
Wegde gang

yep, that’s a hole.
Hmmm Although some times “Less ir more”
